GESTRA NRGT 26-2 Capacitive Level Transmitter
The GESTRA NRGT 26-2 is a capacitive level transmitter designed for continuous water level measurement in pressurised steam boiler plants, hot-water systems, and condensate and feedwater tanks. Providing a linear 4–20 mA current output scaled across a calibrated 0–100% measuring range, it delivers accurate, reliable level data to compatible level controllers, enabling precise water level regulation with MIN/MAX alarm capability.
Engineered for demanding industrial and steam plant environments, the NRGT 26-2 features a stainless steel electrode rod with PTFE insulation, a powder-coated aluminium terminal box, and a robust IP65-rated enclosure. The transmitter is available in seven measuring range lengths from 300 mm to 1000 mm, all supplied at 24 V DC, making it suitable for a wide range of boiler and vessel installations. A galvanically isolated analogue output and 4-digit LED display ensure straightforward integration and clear status indication at the point of installation.
